Terri Johnson Love Levi's ability to take someone's personal thoughts, feelings, and emotions and translate them into a beautiful and memorable song. Always Have Always Will is the song he wrote for my parents 60th wedding anniversary. Favorite track: Always Have, Always Will (For Luana & Mike).

Now listen, it may be too soon to say, but it ain’t like it don’t show Darlin’ my eyes will tell you everything that you already know I wanna state the obvious but you and I say hey let’s take it slow And yet it doesn’t need to be heard How I love how we’re hanging on these three words. My mamma always told me darlin’, see, when you know it you know Don’t be a fool enough to think that you got it in control When destiny decides you got to put your shit aside and let it role, let it role And though it doesn’t need to be heard Darlin' I love how we’re hanging on these three words. You aint’ gotta say nothing baby When you look at me the way you do Just turn me round and round sweet baby I’m gonna love you, love you, the same way too Love is a power, and it will not be denied And baby I been looking for you, I been lookin’ for ya all of my life Head over feet, I’m in so deep, it’s plane to see Oh, yes I know you know, yes you know And yet it doesn’t need to be heard How I love how we’re hanging on these three words You don’t need me to tell ya nothing baby Oh , I love how we’re hanging on these three words.

I look back on our life When I look into our grandkids eyes So full of love, so full of light How did we come so far And holding you tonight I”m holding every dream I’ve had Through the good and through the bad We could never be apart And you say “I love you" And I say ‘me too” Always Have, Always Will Always and Forever, baby And I love you still Whatever the need Whatever the care I’ll be there Always have, Always Will I don’t know what lies ahead But standing here 60 years strong I know I’m standing with the one That always made me smile. I guess I always knew My teenage dream from way back then Would be a love that never ends It was right there all along And I say "I love you" And you say "me too" Always Have, Always Will Always and Forever, baby And I love you still Whatever the need Whatever the care I’ll be there Always have, Always will

Too much wasted time You try so hard to get it right Missing every moment Caught up in the could have been Wishing life away Pushing through another day There’s gotta be something Or somebody who will let you in In your heart Baby, that's where you should be lookin' All the love you're missin’ Shining there inside of you So step into the light Chase away the night The sun will always shine The sun will always shine again Midnight’s gonna fade Dawn is just a truth away And you already know it Cause you hold it there inside your heart So let go Baby give yourself permission It’s time you started livin’ No one needs to show you how Just step into the light Chase away the night The sun will always shine The sun will always shine again It’s gonna be alright It’s gonna be alright

I’ve gone down roads that led me astray I gave my heart and I felt it break I guess the broken pieces Can mend with a little faith, cause Your love is living proof Of God’s amazing grace Here in your arms I don’t hide my heart Gone are the fears that tore me apart I know the trail of tears I’ve cried Has led me to this place Your love is living proof Of God’s amazing grace And our road starts here Let us now begin again With Jesus as our shepherd Our ever constant Friend Thank you Jesus Thank you Lord With this ring I now surrender to heaven’s perfect plan Not our will, Oh Father, but take us by the hand And guide us in your wisdom Let us now behold your face Cause your love is living proof Come and fill this place Your love is living proof That we are saved by grace Your love is living proof Of God’s amazing grace.

Do you know how proud I am, baby Of who you are, and what we’ve become When I look at the man that I married I see a man that’s so full of love For me For my family And my children, and their children And for what we believe and that’s why... I celebrate you Baby, I celebrate you You made it this far By living your truth And now I celebrate you This old world can weigh heavy on you, baby, And some will try to say that we’re wrong But remember, you are one divine expression Of a God who made you perfect, just as you are So shine Shine your light It’s so much brighter than you know So when it’s hard to let it show, know that I celebrate you Baby, I celebrate you You made it this far By living your truth And now I celebrate you Feeling lost and unworthy It was no easy fight Learning what to believe Who was wrong and what was right Looking back on our journey And where we are today There’s one thing I could tell you There’s something I gotta say, baby I celebrate you Darling, I celebrate you You made it this far By living your truth And now I celebrate you Baby, I celebrate you Darling, I celebrate you (I love you, Robert)

Riding shotgun on the 21 to Memphis You and I were young and feeling restless Singing loud to the radio No real place to go God the memories we had together Every rite of passage you were right there Hair and makeup always done And sorting through these photographs I wonder now and then How your little brother could become your closest friend Then I hear you say As if you were here today Just Because Loving you is reason enough You don't have to ask why Baby you are my life and you know Anytime the world is too much I'll be there to do what love does Just Because I don't know how life goes on without you Seasons pass and year to year I try to Keep the images alive They fade a little more with time And somewhere in the missing I remember once again There's an angel up in heaven And she's still my closest friend Here me when I say It could be no other way Just Because Loving you is reason enough You don't have to ask why Baby you are my life and you know Anytime the world is too much I'll be there to do what love does Just Because Somewhere in the missing I remember once again There's an angel up in heaven and she's Still my closest friend Here me when I say It could be no other way Just Because Loving you is reason enough You don't have to ask why Baby you are my life and you know Anytime the world is too much I'll be there to do what love does Just Because

Sounds like you’re down on yourself again Thinking how you could go and do that again And it makes you mad So sick of being sad That you don’t even want to begin again What’s done is done. And believe it or not It’s here to remind you of what you got Inside of you There’s a light in you But baby, You wouldn’t see the light If you didn’t know the dark It’s knowing who you’re not That tells you who you are No blame, no shame Nothing to prove You’re only learning how to be true to you You’re only learning how to be true to you You wanna make a list of might have beens All the years that fell into oblivion When you dance with regret It will take you to the edge Till you don’t even know how to live again See the path we take Is by design It’s meant to awaken And redefine the soul of you That beautiful Light of you But baby... You wouldn’t see the light If you didn’t know the dark It’s knowing who you’re not That tells you who you are No blame, no shame Nothing to prove You’re only learning how to be true to you You’re only learning how to be true to you What’s done is done And believe it or not It’s here to remind you of what you got Inside of you There is a light in you Oh baby, You wouldn’t see the light If you didn’t know the dark It’s knowing who you’re not That tells you who you are No blame, no shame Nothing to prove You’re only learning how to be true to you You’re only learning how to be true to you

Why does everyone seem to have more? The perfect body the perfect hobby The cutest clothes from the finest stores Yoga class and cafes with a new age attitude Yeah, there all after something Or just something else to do But sometimes I wonder Should I stretch myself thinner Do I appear to be a winner? Am I good enough? But then I remember Life is more than survival More than a glorified arrival It’s hear and now And right now I am grateful For a good man to hold me A family that loves me A home of my own I can say that I’m thankful For the job that supports me Old friends that surround me And I’m never alone Life may keep me running till I drop But baby I love what I got I’m not saying I don’t have dreams of my own When you’re buried under, don’t we all wonder If there’s another life we could have known What might have been, what could be, what remains to be seen I”m still allowed to question It’s still okay to dream But this morning I wanna count all my blessings Feel good in the knowing That I’m good enough Someone out there somewhere Might be looking at me Thinking how lucky I must be To have so much love So right now I am grateful For a good man to hold me A family that loves me For a home of my own I can say that I’m thankful For the job that supports me Old friends that surround me And I’m never alone Life may keep me running till I drop Sometimes I feel I’m running till I drop But baby I love what I got

Love is unmistakable It’s undeniable And it knows no boundaries Love It’s just as limitless Just as definitive As it ever was And I’ve taken the long way around it Sometimes I doubt it But it’s calling out to me And it makes me believe in.. You You’re in my heart You’re under my skin As near as the air i breath it’s You Wherever you are Wherever you’ve been I feel you coming home to me. You, You’re coming home to me Time, it’s unforgivable So unmerciful It keeps marching on and This, it's unfamiliar I’m not so graceful With this game of love But I”m speaking the hope that I’m holding A truth that I’m knowing When I imagine you I cannot be moved cause You You’re in my heart You’re under my skin As near as the air i breath it’s You Wherever you are Wherever you’ve been I feel you coming home to me. You, You’re coming home to me And i’ll keep this vision I will hold this feeling I will keep believing till you are here with me You You’re in my heart You’re under my skin As near as the air i breath it’s You Wherever you are Wherever you’ve been I feel you coming home to me. You, You’re coming home to me

about

Levi Kreis Nashville, Tennessee

I"m a singer and songwriter from East Tenessee. Since my debut album in 2005, I've explored a myriad of genres from piano pop to rock to Americana soul. I'm most at home when it feels a bit gospel, a bit country and a bit poppy. You'll usually find my lyrics explore personal growth and I'm not afraid to be vulnerable with you. Thanks for being here. It's good to meet you. ... more
